She doesn't really do much of an exam or ask many questions. She seems to be overwhelmed by needing to use the computer while doing the appointments.

In June I saw Dr. Hovis for the first time and looked like I was headed right for an early grave. She did some research with her team and discovered that I had a serious medical condition. She set me up with treatments to get me back to my best it is because of Dr. Hovis and her team that I am still alive
